    I think one or two are deliberately antagonizing some others and those others should not take the bait. We all know there are clever folks among our ranks and there's possibly a few dummies. Let's put this to rest now and move on. 🙉

    I'm dazed and confused, but; An object with a mass of 3kg will have a weight of (about) 3kg on Earth. Gravity changes a little depending on where you are on the surface of the Earth. The mass never changes, no matter where you are in the universe.

    Squelch is confusing to non radio nerds. Some see it as a sort of 'sensitivity' control. It is not. All you do is set a threshold at a point so that background hash is blocked and radio transmissions are not. Any transmission that is 'above the background noise' will open the squelch and be heard. If weak transmissions from distant places are getting through, just wind up the squelch setting a tad. I fail to see how squelch will have an effect on audio quality. You could try a different head-set. If the quality is better, investigate your head-set.

    If you push a box across the floor at constant velocity you are exerting a force - just enough to overcome friction. If no force were applied to the box then friction would slow it down to a stop. In a vacuum however, with the force removed the box would continue in a straight line at constant velocity.

    You can have a mass of 0.3kg but on the moon that mass will weigh only 0.05kg if my memory serves me correctly.

    It could be that nobody knows anything and are just getting stuff from Google. I see these same sorts of posts in a few other (non-aviation) forums. I'm one of those folks who know a lot about nothing and a little of everything. Just clever enough to get by and not lose an eye in the process.

    God, I hope this isn't in the test....🤥

    Have a look at Proverbs 25:24. Makes me laugh...

    I know morse (Ham Licence FULL call) but can't make sense of that. No spaces between letters... ..._ _._ ..... _._ _._ ...

    Years ago I went out with a hoity-toity girl who dragged me along to a cheese fondue. There I sampled expensive wine and cheese. Some of the booze was $100 a bottle, some of the cheese was $50 a kilo. Anyway, I took my Mount Rufus port and some cheese I got from Bi-Lo (now Coles). My input to the table did not raise any eyebrows or cause folks to comment about how crappy it was. In fact, some of the expensive booze I reckon was taken from the floor of a horse float.

    When I have had a bottle of port I am right there with you...

    I'm glad I am on the way out. Too hard to figure out the way things are done these days...

    I logged on at 8pm local and could not find the latest versions of the manuals.

    What version of Windoze are you using? Have you done a system restore? Do you keep you system up to date?

    When windows 95 came out (in 1996) I lost the CD. Yep, it disappeared off the face of the planet. Found it twenty years later inside a book. A book on circuit analysis that hasn't been used since the seventies. I lost 5 years through stress and frustration over that. Your hinge will appear, perhaps in a bowl of soup in a restaurant in Iceland. But it will turn up.

    Any idea on conditions? Gusty, lumpy? Foxbats are easy to land apparently.

    If you're keen enough you could get a small audio amp + speaker from Jaycar and feed the headphone audio into that.

    Oh No!!! The National Tiles advert - I HATE it. Great video though, that rotating jig is cool...

    Turbo props have far fewer parts than pistons engines. What makes them so expensive? I want one just for the sound.

    With your glider picture, the seat cover and grass look so similar it appears as though there is a big area cut out in the side of the glider. My brain playing tricks...

    I know that if my plane had to stay out of a hangar, I'd be quick in acquiring some sort of weather/sun shade to throw over the thing. Too expensive a toy to let it get ruined. I am of the believe that many hangar owners are greedy bastards.

    It's all too hard for my failing brain. AS recreational pilots I thought we could be free of the BS that GA pilot/owners put up with. Now I have to find some clown with a soft condescending tone to explain this crap to me while sitting me on her lap.

    The official term used by the ATIS is "Dust Devil". Yep, believe it or not. I flew through one in a Piper Tomahawk at about 300 feet AGL. I thought a bus had hit me.

    Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist any change in its velocity, including zero velocity when subjected to an external force. Kinetic refers to motion, a moving object has kinetic energy, a rock raised up 10 meters has potential energy, that energy becomes kinetic when the rock is dropped. When the rock hits the ground that energy is converted to heat etc.

    One of the great positives about being a member of the Gawler flying club is that the occupations of the members is so varied, each has something to contribute. We have computer scientists, agricultural scientists, a guy with a PhD in atmospherics. We have Doctors, coppers, farmers, butchers, bakers and candle stick makers. Computer programmers and electronics techs. It's great, and I believe this forum is much the same.
